O_oeg6 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Someone told me simple green and a wire brush why do you say a tooth brush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 If it is a factory coated valve cover a wire brush will take the coating off. If it isn't coated, a wire brush will scratch it and you'll see brush marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 If you're planning on painting it, then take it to a machine shop and have them hot tank it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Matteu Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 <a href='http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091102110837AAjD63U'>http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091102110837AAjD63U</a> I did it to my MR2 valve covers when I settled in for an afternoon of scrubbing and degreasing when I realized I'd rather pay $10 and do something else with my afternoon that didn't involve respirating volatile solvents for the sake of saving $10.
